For many Musical Theatre fans, Emma Kingston is known for her vocal prowess as well as for her ability to perform in a range of shows from Fiddler on the Roof to Heathers to The Band's Visit. Since arriving onto the scene, Emma has also regularly been seen in concerts and cabarets showcasing her wide vocal range. In more recent years, Emma has also established herself as a reliable and popular vocal coach, helping students and singing beginners develop their technique. On stage however, Emma remains a hugely respected performer known to give her to audiences.

In our interview, Emma Kingston reflects on her career - the friends that she's made and her wider network of industry connections. She talks particularly fondly of her friendship with Rob Houchen whom she has collaborated on various projects. In particular, she talks about her experience stepping into Alice Fearn's shoes for Children of Eden at Cadogan Hall after Alice fell ill during the rehearsal period. We hear her talk about how her ability to read music helped her prepare to play Eve and Mama Noah after such a short space of time. Emma also talks about getting to play dream role Julie Jordan in Carousel at Kilworth House last year and how she hopes the show will continue to be staged despite some of the more difficult themes that exist within the show. Reflecting on her own heritage, she also talks to us about getting to play Dina in The Band's Visit last year and talks about the importance of having strong representation in theatre for all people.
